First what I want. I want to install the scalix server on my new FC5 linux machine in my local network (situated in my house). The server is connected to a router which grants access to the internet. To reach my server from outside I want to use a dyndns-domain name, which my router can update automatically. Ports are forwarded to the server. Hope this helps to understand my needs.
Good, I installed FC5 and started to install scalix and failed at the network check. Here the debug-output:
Code: Select all
DEBUG:merlin:This host has the following IP addresses: ['192.168.0.11']

192.169.0.11 myprefix.dyndns.orgIn /etc/hostname I wrote:
Code: Select all
myprefix.dyndns.orgSo, my questions are, can I install the server in the environment I desire? Is a DNS server needed in my LAN? I read this, but can´t believe that a DNS-server is obligatory to get the server working?
How can I approach to get the network check be successful?
Hope for help, although I know the problem was already discussed, but "perhaps" I have different needs?
